About this map

Loco Draw defines this landscape at the intersection of Lincoln, De Baca, and Guadalupe counties, where the high desert terrain is punctuated by essential water catchments. The 2017 survey reveals an arid ranching environment reliant on a network of man-made and seasonal water sources, including Cantina Tank and Little North Tank. The geography is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with the map covering portions of t2n r19e and t1n r19e, showing how property and land management lines dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Loma Vista Rd and Bird Rd.

Surface water is the primary landmark here, with features such as Barrel Lake in the north and the clustered Meadow Pasture Tanks to the southeast providing critical points of reference. These tanks and natural depressions like West Tank illustrate the historical and ongoing adaptation to the dry climate of the Pecos River valley region, where every named water feature serves as a vital anchor for local navigation and land use.
